Kudos to the Ministry of Agriculture for including Agroecology in Nigeria's NDC 3.0. The Director at department of agricultural land and climate change management services noted that it will be mainstreamed in other policies of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security

The goal is not only to achieve food security but more importantly to achieve food sovereignty where access to bountiful, healthy and culturally appropriate food is guaranteed and the people are in control of the food including by being involved in decision making processes.

Agroecology is a tool for the much needed transformation in our food system where food is not regarded as a mere commodity but as a unifying force, as medicine and as an emblem of dignity for those whose livelihoods depend on it #StakeholdersConference #Agroecology @FmardNg

Bassey's urgent call for action on Nigeria's socioecological cohesion is crucial. Embracing environmental rights will spark the change needed for a sustainable future.

Climate change has many impacts. In West Africa, one of the significant impacts is forced migration. Our stories are similar in the region because we face the same problems. Desertification is making many places uninhabitable, and we feel the weight of history. @NnimmoB @ERAFoEN1

The conversation around sub-regional climate justice issues and the connection to the different West African countries is the discussion at the West Africa Climate Justice Meeting. #WestAfricaClimateJusticeConference #WACMO @NnimmoB @oilwatchafrica1 @SocialActionNg @CAPPAfrica
